I have found the crank holding tool could also double up quite well as a cam holding tool- insert the teeth on the tool through the holes on the sprocket and wedge against the water pump.

Even with all of the covers off, you can use a steel rule or some fishing line to find time - strike a line straight through the centre of the crank, through the crank timing marks, through the centre of the cam and onto the mark on the cam pulley. Remember to check through the filler cap that both cam lobes on No1 are pointing obliquely upwards as suterman says.

There are some pictures here:

The B200E is an Interference engine (ask me how I know!) However apparently even hitting all four intake valves isn't enough to stop one running, so it's fairly forgiving for a learner!
